Seattle’s star socialist, Kshama Sawant, said she wanted a revolution. Now she’s trying to get one by campaigning to take Kamala Harris down in Michigan, columnist Danny Westneat writes.

    “We need to be clear about what our goals are,” Sawant said in a speech on Sunday in Dearborn, Michigan. “We are not in a position to win the White House.

    “But we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”

    So the goal is “fighting to defeat Harris, not just symbolically but in reality,” Sawant said. “This is ground zero to punish Kamala Harris and defeat her.”

    If you admit Stein can’t win, and you claim Harris must be defeated, then you’re working to elect Donald Trump.

    My dude.

    Did you even read this before you posted it? You’ve just shown your hand. You consistently shill for Stein. Therefore, knowing that Stein can not win the election, you are working for Trump. Which, well, since the communities you’ve created and moderate are entirely in-line with far-right conservative Mormon politics, is pretty on-brand.

      I’m not far-right conservative at all. The communities I post the most too are socialist communities.

      I post articles that I think are interesting, regardless of political viewpoint.

      How am I working for Trump!? I don’t like him. Not voting for him.

      What mormon political articles have I ever posted!?

      I’m voting Socialist Workers Party. Thanks!

        You do realize that if Harris loses, Trump wins, right? You’re at least that in touch with reality I hope.

    “Democrats have long suspected that Stein is a form of political malware.” Well this is just a known fact.

    Also, why are all these Green and Socialist Party aligned people suddenly coming out and proud about being petty and running spoiler campaigns against the party that closest resembles their own goals?

    The obvious jealousy of it all is rank with pathetic. All the bullshit patronizing is just so fuuucking exhausting. “You’re not giving me exactly what I want, so instead of doing something useful about it, I’m going to align with your opposition solely to fuck you over, and then nobody gets what they want”.

    Real fucking constructive. These assclowns should teach civics in Kindergarten.

    I don’t get the downvotes on this - it is important and disgusting news, and hopefully if enough people see it then Sawant will be booted out of politics, not just the Seattle council.
